I think that it can take quite a bit to pick and get a good domain name. I think the biggest problem is that sometimes you come up with a name that you just love and think would be the perfect choice for your site but then you find out that it has already been taken up by someone else. So it is hard I guess.

In terms of trying to pick a good domain name, I think the best thing to do is to come up with a word or a term that you want to use for your domain. Once you have done that, try and come up with other words that go with that term to try and find the perfect combination for your domain. That's why I do when I try to find the perfect domain name for my sites.

Some domain names are confusing while they're trying to be cool. For instance, the fictional name HotForumz.com would be confusing because many people will type in Hot Forums. It's like on the movie "That Thing You Do" where the band chooses the name "The Oneders" - but most people interpret it as "The O'Needers" , not as a witty spelling of "The Wonders".

A domain name that is easy to read, easy to remember, sounds professional, and gives hint to the site niche would go a very long way. It is also good for SEO, right? Having the keyword of the niche to your domain name would have a great impact on how visible and trustworthy it would look to search engines and visitors.

Make sure you choose the domain related to the nature of your website/blog. It will be easier for people to remember and also drive in more traffic if you keep the content and the domain name relevant. Also do not complicate it by using a mix of numbers and characters. It should be proper english words which can be easily memorized.

Picking a domain name is one of the hardest decisions you're gonna have to make. At least for me it is. I tend to take my time when I choose a name not because I want it to be perfect but because I want to make sure that even after years I'm still going to like it. A domain name should be easy to remember true, but it should also be unique. That way you'll be sure that people won't be visiting the wrong site. I have to agree with not using shortcuts for words, that just looks awkward. And of course the domain name should at least have some relevance to what your site has to offer.

Essentially it's the same like picking any other good name, whether it's a song or a book and even website's domain. I'd suggest to sit and think about it for a while, and if not, then try using some online name generator. It must be something catchy, but short.

Choosing a name domain should be unique. This will give distinct identity among others. It is something that is associated to your site. People will get to remember it easily. Having a good name will attract visitors/guest to stay and get to know what's interesting on the site. It maybe short but captivating.

You should choose something unique, something that suits you and your style. Yet, you should be careful when picking a domain name. It needs to be unique but at the same time it needs to be short and simple. Why short and simple, you may wonder? Well, short and simple in order for people to remember it more easy. You should make it distinctive and powerful. Just think carefully about it and something will come up! Trust me!
